Stick It In The Trash

Stick It in The Trash is an educational program for correct disposal of any type of sharp or needle. ECVC has workers who hand sort the recyclables that come into the MRF. (Material Recovery Facility) Quite often, people will put a recyclable plastic bottle into their recyclables bin filled with their needles or sharps. When recyclable materials are picked up, the trucks compact the material and these bottles break leaving sharps loose in the material. The workers, on the line that are sorting the material, can easily get stuck.

The proper way to dispose of these items is to either purchase a container made specifically for disposal from your local pharmacy or use a #2 or heavy duty plastic detergent container with the top taped on.

Programs and large quantity brochures are available for all of these initiatives by contacting Susan Daughtry at 252-317-3134 or sdaughtry@ecvcinc.com
